  I've had the irregularly large measure case myself; in Chompin's Nocturne, 
one measure is written 'approximately' as the following:

     <ces ces'>2.(\ff_\markup { \bold \italic "senza tempo" } <bes 
bes'>)\fermata \acciaccatura { ces16[-3\p\<_\markup { \bold \italic "a 
tempo" } bes-2 c-4 a]-1 \repeat unfold 7 { ces[ bes c a] } ces[\!\f bes c a] 
ces[ bes c a] ces[ bes c a] ces[\>\dim bes c a] ces[ bes d\!-5 c] 
bes[_\markup { \bold \italic "rall." } a-1 aes-4 g] f[_\markup { \bold 
\italic "smorz." } d-1 ees-3 c-1] #(set-octavation 0) bes'8[-4 aes-3 c,-1 
d-3] } | %slur

The piece has some errors I have yet to work out; the grace notes here are 
actually typeset at the end of the measure rather at the beginning of the 
next measure, in the original piece.
  I now have a 'copyright renewed 1943' edition which might fix some of the 
mistakes, but then I don't think it could be on mutopiaproject right? I just 
need to see if I can determine the fixes based on other similar parts in the 
music, but I didn't remember seeing much god stuff there.
